Dear Reader,
I am Abd al-Hazir, adventurer, scholar, and researcher. I share my
knowledge of this incredible world and its creatures through my
insightful missives, often at grave risk to myself. Why, I was
recently in Khanduras, where my tents were ransacked by vicious quill
fiends! I was able to beat them off with a shoe, but a less bold man
would've been fared for worse.
Abd al-Hazir
